I would like to have a photo book printed of a recent holiday and would like to be able to do the book online, in Canada, so I don't have to deal with Customs, brokerage, etc. Can anyone recommend a source for me? The ones I have found so far are London Drugs and McBain Camera (Photo Source). Are these good? I sone better than the other? Should I look elsewher? An help with this would be appreciated.

Just wanted to add to this thread - Kinzin makes beautiful photo books too. It's really easy to customize and crop on the site, and the best part is that you can privately share photos with your friends and family members, allowing you the option to limit who gets to see and use which sets of photos. Shipping across Canada is only a flat rate of $3.99. So to anyone else out there who is looking to make a photo book, check out Kinzin!

If you wanted to make a photobook calendar, trading cards or whatever, but you wanted complete control, your own backgrounds & layouts & what not, is there a program you could use to design your pages before sending it to a website like the ones mentioned?

I've thought about doing it in word, I could do it in power point, but was wondering if there was an "easier" way to do it.
